You took my heart
And buried it deep
Deep in the ground
Beneath the weeds
And through the tears
The tears I weep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep

Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Why did you take my love away?

Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Why did you take my love away?

I feel my bones
Waste until they're [?] I'm left alone
Left with a soul that weighs a ton
And through the break
Of every morning sun
My only prayer
Is that today thy will be done

Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Why did you take my love away?
Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Oh Able May
Why did you take my love away?

I feel her breath
Move through the leaves
I see her take another soul
She must deceive
And once again
I must believe
And pray the Lord
My soul to keep
